7. Remove the hard-disk drive assembly.
Turn the computer over and remove the small rubber covers over screws
HD1 and HD2, then remove the screws. Pull the hard-disk drive straight out
of the computer (see Figure 4-7).
CAUTION: When handling the hard-disk drive, handle it gently and
don’t bump or drop the drive. Rough handling of the drive could
induce failure or loss of data.
CAUTION: When the hard-disk drive is not in the computer, protect
the drive from exposure to static electricity by storing it in a hard-
disk drive case.
